Readers' Best Glacier Photos

Earth Day is right around the corner and what better way to celebrate than by paying tribute to one of our most essential resources—water. These surprisingly moving shots of glaciers span the globe from Alaska to Patagonia and beyond.

"This is from a July 2007 trip to Glacier National Park in Montana. We were on our way to the Canadian Rockies, but absolutely couldn't get enough of this gorgeous scenery, and by this time we were on day 4 in Glacier. We'd planned on 2. The road to the side is the "Going to the Sun Road."

"The highlight of the 17-mile hike we took in Los Glaciares National Park in the Patagonia region of southern Argentina was this view of the mountain range. The area is so pristine that we were able to drink melted glacier water flowing in streams down from the mountains above."

"Perito Moreno, a glacier in Patagonia, is one of the cleanest, bluest masses of ice on planet Earth. One of the best times to visit is during the brief time period where the advancing glacier smashes into the rock bed below and massive portions of the glacier come crashing into the water below. The sound and sight is a memory to last a lifetime!"

"For wildflower lovers, Glacier National Park in Montana in July is a wonderful destination. As the snow melts, the wildflowers start to appear. This photo shows white mountain avens with snow-capped peaks in the background. You can't ask for a more lovely spot."

"The southern portion of the Ring Road, which goes around the perimeter of Iceland, leads to Skaftafell National Park where you can find the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon. Pieces of ice constantly break off from the inland glaciers, leaving the lagoon filled with floating icebergs."
